Cannot rename file/folder in Vista with Xplorer2

Post by nfordxplr »

I posted this message the other day and it was deleted and my name and password were deleted as well. So I'll try again:

When I first installed Xplorer2 in Windows Vista, everything worked fine, but now I am unable to rename files and folders.

I have searched the docs and found nothing helpful.

Am I doing something wrong?

Greetings nford,

Welcome to the board :)

@ ... were deleted ... -
Something in your registration data triggered our generic spammer flag, and your account was deleted before I reviewed your post for content. :oops:
Please accept our apologies.  
... and thank you for re-registering and persisting with your question.  

@ unable to rename -
Did you try using F2 (or Ctrl+F2) ?
If second-click renaming is not working, then likely that program option is no longer set.  
Please check the setting for Allow slow double-click to rename items under Tools | Options... on the Window tab.

HTH

& If that does not apply it may be a Vista-specific issue where our Vista users can help.
